Would You Wear Ripped Rear Denim

We talk a lot about ripped up denim here on ESD. Distressed jeans are popping up in many sub categories: ripped knees, ripped white jeans, all over distressed jeans, you-can-almost-see-your-underwear-the-holes-are-so-big distressed. Which leads me to a newer trend I’ve witnessed: the ripped rear. A large rip right below the cheeks. And honestly, if you have a nice round hiney (that reminds me, I have a pop physique class in 20), totally works. Examples below. But what if you don’t? What if you’re over a certain age? What if? I’m not sure. Are we going to be seeing more of this? I’m not sure but would love to hear by our opinion on the style!

I’m not into it but only because these two rips were obviously just strategically cut into a brand new pair of jeans. If a similarly located rip was in a pair of super worn baggy vintage jeans that also had rips and holes and tears elsewhere, I don’t think I would mind. This, however, just looks like it’s trying to hard to be sexy and different.
